All in This Tea on Jaman through Friday

I'll write more about the free rental of a few of the films at the San Francisco International Film Festival on Jaman,but I wanted to let people know that All in This Tea by Les Blank and Gina Leibrecht is available as a free rental on Jaman until sometime Friday or 100 copies have been downloaded (as of 4 pm on Thursday, it has been downloaded 32 times).

It will be released on DVD when they've raised about $20,000 (half of that for music rights). Donations can be made online (scroll down to the Tea Project).

Blank's 1973 film Dry Wood, "a glimpse into the life, food, and Mardi Gras celebrations
of black Creoles in French Louisiana, featuring the stories and music of 'Bois Sec' Ardoin and Canray Fontenot," is available for free streaming online at Folkstreams.

Update: AITT is no longer available. There were about 80 downloads. Thanks to Scott Beale for writing about it (based on an update to twitter before I even wrote this post). But more films will be available starting on Sunday. There are also several Tribeca films available.
